A
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school master is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette(香烟) in bed. As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unluckily, the cigarette fell into the waste--paper basket. It caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon the whole room was burning. The master phoned the fire brigade. The school is a long way from the town and before the fire brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. The master said that the fire was all my fault and I must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I'm very sorry for this.
Much love
Sarah

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meet and rice. Sweet and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(胃口). It’s important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it’s said that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow（吞咽） the bread, it was a sign that he wasn’t telling the truth. He was telling lies. Although this seems strange and foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

I know that there are times when friends are apart for a while – or even forever – and that your lives take different paths. Yet, I always hope for a happy ending. I know that friends reconnect again when it makes sense.
My friend Julie and I had a long period in our friendship. We used to see each other daily. I would eat brown rice in her kitchen while we shared our secrets.
Later, we celebrated each other’s weddings. My husband and I welcomed Julie’s first son (born on my birthday). By the time he was learning to walk, Julie and her family had moved to another city. We spoke on the phone sometimes and exchanged Christmas cards.21教育网
After they welcomed their third son, they moved to Edmonton, which is a farther city. We haven’t seen each other since then. They changed their phone numbers. I received a letter from her, but I couldn’t find that envelope later. I e-mailed her a few times, but didn’t get a reply.
It was painful not to be in touch with an old friend. I let it go. I knew that Julie and I would reconnect again, when it made sense.
Last year, Julie’s husband got in touch with me on Facebook. I felt something bad, and soon my feeling proved true: Julie had passed away the month before. She died of cancer.
I regretted that I had not been part of Julie’s support system, or the last years of her joyous, painful time on Earth. I cried. I’m so sorry, Julie, for counting on more chances.
Last week, I donated my hair in memory of Julie to make wigs (假发) for cancer patients. It was a small way of showing that I loved her and will never forget her. And that I look forward to us reconnecting again – when it makes sense.21*cnjy*com

The Chinese word "Shanzhai" means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after "Shanzhai Cell-phones" produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years. Besides (除……之外，还有)"Shanzhai" electronic products(电子产品), there are "Shanzhai" movies, "Shanzhai" stars and even a "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve.
"Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, "Shanzhai" version "Bird's Nest（鸟巢）" and "Water Cube（水立方）" woven by farmers with bamboo attract(吸引) wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.
A literature critic said that taking the "Shanzhai" Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the "Shanzhai" version appears timely to attract people. "Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, 'Shanzhai' culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds," he said.
To the mainstream（主流） culture, the rise of "Shanzhai" culture is a challenge（挑战） and a motivation（推动）. People believe different kinds of cultures developing(发展) together is a perfect（完美的，最好的） way and it is for the public to choose.
13. According to the passage, "Shanzhai" culture refers to（指的是）_______.
A. the action that a person imitates famous people
B. products with poor techniques and quality
C. anything that imitates something famous
D. those similar names to famous brands
14. We can infer that the mainstream culture_______.
A. is held back by "Shanzhai" culture
B. is the challenge of"Shanzhai" culture
C. will be replaced by "Shanzhai" culture
D. may develop faster because of the challenge of "Shanzhai" culture
15. The underlined word "imitates" is closest in meaning to_________.
A. 偷窃 B. 仿造 C. 做广告 D. 欺骗

Dear Bruce,
I was glad to know you began to study Chinese literature. Now let me tell you something about Luxun.
Born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, Lu Xun ， whose real name is Zhou Shuren, abandoned the study of medicine. He thought he could change society by writing not by medicine. Lu Xun was not only a well-Known Chinese writer, a thinker, and translator, but also the father of modern Chinese literature. He had achieved a lot. His novels have been translated into many languages and some of novels have been made into films, such as The True Story of AH Q and The New Year’s Sacrifice. Some of his novels have been collected in high school and college textbooks. In my opinion, he is really an outstanding writer and has great influence on Chinese literature.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Since you are learning Chinese literatures, I think reading Lu Xun’s novels will benefit a lot.
Yours,
